Hey guys.

Anyone else find shatters a little too obvious? Personally I find it difficult to really land one against any decent player without a lot of play and set up.

A lot of the time I out play people, attempting to get them to pop all their survivability c/ds and doges by feigning a shatter setup along with mind wrack shatter spikes (since it has a short c/d)

But sometimes this gets tedious against certain classes who will get such a large lead.
and in a lot of cases I’d rather not give so much risk.

In other cases I’ll go “Decoy > roll(if I don’t have a clone) > sword 3/sword 3(swap)” for an invis snare shatter.

But I’d like to know other people’s methods of disguising a shatter if they are willing to share them with the community.

“I control time and space; you can’t break free.~”
“Maybe I was the illusion all along!”

F2 followed by an F1 (save Endurance for 2x clone + 1 clone from skills).

I like the blink+dodge, f2, mirror images, then dodge+f1 combo myself. Really surprises most people but can be hard to pull off.

@Daishi, I know this is spvp/tpvp but I duel alot of skilled players so I send some input from the wvwvw world aswell

1- Get into combat get 3 clones up, hit shatter (daze) to let em run to target, hit daze to invit + 1 clone, dodge for a nother and leap for a 3rd out of invis (the leaping clone is wery hard to dodge when it come from invis and if any of teh 3 dazes hit its even harder). After that normal combo.

2-Get clones up in combat hit a portal out of space, hit shatter when you on other side of portal, portal back and leap + shatter combo.

3-Run from target chasing you, hit leap while on move away so it run oposit direction, leap abck + combo.

4-Open with cry shatter, let them immune this, staff 2 outdecoy wait 1-2 sec blink in from stealth leap + combo.

There is as many combos as there is ideas. VS a tanky player best way is accualy bind your time some. Feel hes defenses and fish some. Se what he react to and make him unsertan by mix your shatter combos. When you feel a gap, hit fully and get him on defensive and in the situation dont let go, be on him al time.
